When It Matters©

Silenced by your pain

I can’t compete

I feel drained by your emotions

It takes a toll on my heart

That lays open for all to witness

Can you step back for a moment

Take a deep breath

And realize

There’s time for the forgiveness you thought wasn’t coming

I’ll hold your hand

If you just stop for a moment to take it all in

Life is precious

Time is endless

As long as you use it wisely

I vow to always keep your silence

As long as you protect my heart

Knowing that I’ll always have your back

When it matters
